He was a graduate of Princeton High School and Pennington Prep, and then went on to Rutgers University, where he played baseball. He was a member of the Springdale Golf Club and was an avid golfer and photographer. Jack was married to Miriam Houghton for more than 50 years; she predeceased him in 2007. After living in Princeton, the Houghtons lived for several years on the New Jersey Shore before retiring to Sarasota, FL.
